Rob Edwards along with O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on the weekend following the squad's ten-game winless start to the Premier League campaign.

Furthermore Edwards and O'Neil - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club leadership.

Edwards is presently at Middlesbrough, which would create a potential hurdle to his appointment at Wolves' stadium.

However the ex- Luton Town head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his playing career - is considered a strong candidate for the position.

The 42-year-old is said to have backing from the club directors as they begin the search of appointing a new manager.

O'Neil is also emerging as a surprise contender, although he would be a surprising choice given he was released by the club in the previous winter.

The former West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not be required to pay any compensation.
